THE ORIGINALS

Amy Arbus, daughter of Diane Arbus, did a weekly fashion section for the Village Voice in the 80's... this is why i'm so thankful to have grown up and still be living in New York... This IS street style photography.

I don't want to be high

I don't want you to be down

Don't want to tell you no lie
Just want you to be around

Please come right up to my ears
You will be able to hear what I say
Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl

-Rolling Stones

Vivian Maier was a nanny who lived in Chicago for most of her life and passed away in 2009 at the age of 83. Little more is known about her, except that she was an avid street photographer. Her work was discovered at an auction in 2007, more than 100,000 negatives and undeveloped rolls of film, sold by a storage facility who were cleaning out her locker for delinquent rent.

WHO ARE WE???

We are Fashion Stylists, bloggers, and hat designers living and working in the heart of the New York fashion world. We've styled every celebrity imaginable, from Anne Hathaway and Drew Barrymore to Rhianna and Alicia Keys, as well as Ad campaigns and editorials. Our hat line came about after many years of searching and never finding the right hats we really wanted for our clients and ourselves. So we decided to create a line of perfect hats.

Our collection is inspired by the whimsical, turbulent era of the late 60's and early 70's, and those Bohemian Rock N Roll icons, especially Anita Pallenberg and The Rolling Stones. We imagined the places they have been, the effect they had on people and the essence of their artistic and carefree lifestyle.
